Buddy Golf in Eire!

We are four longtime friends returning to our ancestral homeland to test our skills at links golf. On this trip we will be blogging our way around the Southwest, visiting such venerable and storied links as Ballybunion Old, Waterville, Lahinch, and Tralee. On the way we will also visit the Cashen course at Ballybunion, Dooks, and Castlegregory, the latter a highly-regarded nine-hole layout on the Dingle peninsula. We will compete against ourselves and each other on these fabled links, even when buffeted by wind and rain. We will comment on our play and provide our impressions and opinions of these great courses. We also hope to enter any open local tournaments. In our view, Ireland offers the very best in buddy-golf: marvelous links, spectacular scenery, friendly hosts, fine food, and brilliant beer. Here, as every visitor to Eire knows, the Guinness tastes better.

    Have a great trip boys. Don't be hitting that driver too far Kevin - you don't know who you might drive through. ONE of these days, the Mitchies will be taking some beer and money off you on the links ;-) Behave. Rachx

    Gents-Enjoy! Buff go fishing with Wagon in Waterville he has great spot near Church Island! Wagon hope you don't need as much Pepto before you play Ballybunion this time! Mike when in doubt, putt the ball! Heavy putter is best in heavy winds! Glen you need to bring sanity to this group! Depending on you.
    Will be with the Blogging Dolts in spirit! Bino

    Gentlemen of the Green Sod--My heart is with you on your quest for par in Eire. Remember, when it's breezy, schwing easy. Hit'em straight and long. I suggest the seafood chowder and a toasty for lunch. Chuck

    would just like to draw the attention of the boys to the Mitchell Anniversary Match 7.

    Forget the 7 year itch, Mitch seemed to develop a 7 year twitch:

    Rach 1 up. Mitch quiet. COME ON..... :-)

    Hope you've had a blast.
